I had a UTI and they traced e coli in my urine and gave me a powerful anti bacterial. Why was there e coli?

Question

what could have caused it?

Answer 1

E coli in your Urine is from your own rectal excrement, even if you cant see it, bacteria can move up to your vagina or urethra and infect your bladder and kidneys. The number one way to help prevent this is to remember to always, wipe front to back, and never never wipe back to front. keep your poo bacteria where it is suppose to be, dont be smearing it up to your urethra, always, wipe the front first, then going down and to the back to your anus. Use a santiary wipe if necessary to help rid bacteria or stool your cant see , even after your toilet paper looks clean after you wipe. Thats why some foreign countries use bodets

Answer 2

E. coli is the most common pathogen or organism that cause UTI. And E. coli is found in your feces. You got your UTI probably due to the way you wash your thing. It should be from your vagina towards the back not the other way around.

Answer 3

Answer 7

E coli is normally found in our feces. E coli in urine may come from washing the anus after bowel. we must wash it from front (where urine pass) to back (anus) motion to avoid bacteria from the feces to come in contact with the urinary tract.
